The Endless Promise

82. Yueyan's Disciples

.

After his 'fight' with Mo Zhen, Luoyin fought off an intense desire to head towards Xu Weiyan.

There were numerous masked cultivators facing the disciples, but with Yuan Jing, Luoyin was fairly certain they could handle the assailants, and then the seals would pull them towards the teleportation formation.

So Weiyan should be safe...

But there was no telling what dangers he had missed.

He was particularly worried about Mo Zhen's poison formation, because the poison base was a rare flower- one not found in the mortal realm.

So how had Mo Zhen gotten his hands on it?

Or who had created the formation?

Were there more traps like that hidden in the training grounds?

Luoyin simply wouldn't feel at ease till he set his eyes on Weiyan and ensured she was safe!

Still... Weiyan was the strongest amongst the rest, and Li San was still missing.

So gritting his teeth in annoyance, Luoyin brought out a tracking talisman and scribbled Li San's name on it.

"Yanyan, please be safe...!"

Meanwhile, the disciples found themselves at different points of the hunting grounds, and almost at once, masked cultivators, all within the profound tier, arrived to attack.

Xu Weiyan found herself on a hilly plain, with a wide rushing river and a nearby bamboo forest.

It was truly beautiful, but...

'A-Yin!' Her only thought was of Luoyin and she instantly brought out a tracking talisman to track him.

Unfortunately, no tracking technique could work on Luoyin and Weiyan watched in dismay as the talisman instantly burst into flames, shrivelling into fine ash.

Mistaking it as a sure sign of peril, she spun around in panic, wondering what direction to head in, but soon found herself surrounded by a few masked men.

In no mood whatsoever, Weiyan's eyes narrowed and she was instantly surrounded by her white aura.

"Will you give way? Or must I move you?" She asked in a deceptively calm and even tone.

"Heh! A wild cat is expected to bite!" One said, swinging out an arm, and a spear appeared.

"Let's teach her a lesson!" Another said, wielding a sword, and they all rushed at her...

But in the next instant they were all sent flying at varying distances.

'Hmph.' Weiyan appeared in front of the closest one, ready to deal a devastating blow, but then she felt it - the mild pull of Luoyin's aura, and his seal from the second stage activated, spinning on the back of her hand.

'A-Yin!' She wasted no time and suddenly vanished, following the seal's guidance. 'Please be safe...!'

Xu Wen, Xu Lian, and Tao Yun had met with almost twenty masked cultivators, but surrounded by trees, Xu Wen had an endless source of wood, and with Xu Lian's shields and Tao Yun's arrows, the fight wasn't too difficult.

Soon, the masked attackers were locked within crystal clear barriers, decorating the landscape as the three headed for Luoyin's formation.

Xu Min found himself surrounded by six masked attackers, but they were all below his level, and he skillfully barreled through them, eventually following the pull of the seal.
